\"Barbecue is not only a way of life, it is also a religion down here. It is a way of gathering family and friends,\" pitmaster Steve Garner told \"GMA.\"

\"It's a lot of home cooking and it's a lot of flavor and love in it,\" Sherice Garner added.

Due to COVID-19 dining restrictions the business lost most of its catering operations and had to close their original location.

\"That meant a lot to us. That was our first building,\" Sherice Garner explained.

For the past few weeks, the Garners have continued to help feed their hungry community with curb-side service and now they're sharing the secrets to one of SouthernQ's signature items.

Check out the full recipe below and recreate this loaded BBQ baked potato at home.
